To use your tablet with mobile network data, you must first insert & activate a SIM card. If no card is installed, the message “No SIM card” appears on the tablet’s lock screen. Only Nexus 7 (2013) LTE can accept a SIM card. Wi-Fi versions of the tablet can’t. WARning: The SIM card ejection tool and the SIM card tray included with Nexus 7 are very small objects that represent a choking hazard. Please keep them out of reach of small children. To insert a new SIM card: 1. Turn your tablet off and place it on a flat surface with the screen facing up, with the camera at the top and the Power button on the right. 2. Tilt the right side slightly and locate the SIM card tray near the bottom and the small hole in the tray door. NEXUS 7 (2013) GUIDEBOOK GET StartED 1 3. Insert the SIM ejection tool that comes with the tablet (or a paperclip) into the hole on the tray, and push firmly but gently until the tray pops out. 4. Remove the tray and place the micro SIM card inside it, with the angled corner fitting snugly into the angled corner of the tray. NEXUS 7 (2013) GUIDEBOOK GET StartED 2 5. Carefully reposition the tray in the slot and push it gently back into the tablet. To activate a SIM card: 1. After completing the setup instructions, open the Settings app and turn off Wi-Fi. Once Wi-Fi is off, you’ll see a notification at the top of your screen. 2. Swipe down the notification shade and touch the notification. 3. Follow the activation instructions provided by your carrier. IMPORTANT: Some carriers may take a minute or more to activate your SIM card. If you find it’s taking a long time to activate, you may want to try restarting your tablet.

Contact your own mobile service provider for additional details. NEXUS 7 (2013) GUIDEBOOK GET StartED 3 Charge the battery The battery may not be fully charged at first. It’s a good idea to fully charge it as soon as you can. Connect the micro USB cable to Nexus 7 and to the charging unit, and the charging unit to a power outlet: • The USB charging unit varies by country or region. • Use only the USB charging unit and micro USB cable that come with your Nexus 7 (2013). Using a different charging unit or cable may damage your tablet. • To avoid risk of injury or damaging your device, peel the pro- tective film from the USB charging unit and USB cable before charging the battery. NEXUS 7 (2013) GUIDEBOOK GET StartED 4 • The input voltage range between the wall outlet and this charging unit is AC 100V–240V, and the charging unit’s output voltage is DC5.2V, 1.35A. • Your Nexus 7 can be charged via the USB port on a computer only when Nexus 7 is in sleep mode (screen off) or turned off. Charging through the USB port will take longer than charging with the USB charging unit.
